This data will also be used to map out a future network of electric charging points, to further extend range and improve the convenience of electric vehicles. Collecting real-world analysis of electric vehicles is essential in understanding actual demands and requirements of low carbon vehicles for consumers.

The goal is to develop energy storage systems with high-energy density to meet the ever-demand for the electric grid to provide reliable, distributed power. High-energy density magnesium batteries for smart electrical grids. Innovative fabrication methods can also lead to significant energy storage system improvements.

And while the robot isn’t exactly a disappointment, there’s very little to suggest that it disrupts robotics the way that SpaceX did for rockets or Tesla did for electric cars. And it is expected to cost much less than a car—much less than $20,000 would be my guess. We were hoping for (if not necessarily expecting) more from Tesla.
